Nephilim Love

Chapter 7

Jace

We ate in silence and I see that Clary was really enjoying the food. When we were done, I picked up the plates and placed them in the sink to soak. When I came back, Clary was not on the couch, so I went to see if she was in the bedroom. I found her sitting on the bed with tears in her eyes. I walked fast to her and wrapped her in my arms. 

"What is the matter? Is something wrong?"

"Jace, who is Si? I just had a flash of a guy with glasses named Si. He is someone I am supposed to remember but I can not."

"His name is Simon, Si for short. He is your best friend since you were children."

"How many people did these damn angels make me forget? You, who are my love, my best friend, who else? Damn them! I do not want to have anything to do with angels!"

She started to cry with a painful sob and all I could do was just hold her in my arms. When she finally stopped, I lifted her chin so that she could look into my eyes.

"Clary, when you get all your memories back,  we do not have to go back to being Shadowhunters. We can stay here and live as mundanes. All we have to worry about is raising our child and living our lives the way we want to live."

"Jace, is there a way I can meet our friends? I am remembering a lot so the angels cannot punish them because they are not interfering with my punishment."

"I can arrange it for tomorrow if you like. I will text everyone and see who can make it here."

"That is great! Just tell them to let me remember who is who and if I cannot remember, then they can tell me their name."

"That is a deal."

I started texting everyone at Clary's request. After a few seconds, my phone was bombarded with messages. Everyone wanted to come. I let them know her conditions and everyone agreed.

"Everything is set for tomorrow morning. Everyone will be here at ten and they agreed to your condition."

"I cannot wait. This is going to put my memories to the test."

"I think it will. Now, I am going to take a shower and we need to get some sleep."

Jace went to take a shower and I just sat on the bed thinking about what my life was in the past. I know that Jace was a big part of it, but there were other friends and family members that I must have cared about too. I tried to concentrate on Simon's features to see if any memories would come through. I just remembered one, he seeing Jace touching my face when we had taken Luke to Magnus' apartment when he was wounded by a pack leader wolf. That was a clear memory. Jace walked out of the bathroom with a towel wrapped around his waist and drops of water dripping down his chest from his wet hair. He looked at me and knew that something was wrong with me. He knows me so well sometimes.

"Babe, what is wrong? Are you okay?"

"I just had a flash of memory about Simon. We were at Magnus' apartment with Luke. You had your hand over my cheek and Simon walked in on us. He had a hurt look over his face."

"Well, Simon was in love with you for a while and when we met, I was his competition where he actually hated me. That was not one of his best nights." 

"He will be happy to know that I am starting to remember him. Did I date him? I remember waking up in his bed under the sheets in my underwear. It is confusing because I thought I have always been in love with you."

" For a month or two, you and I thought we were brother and sister. Valentine told us that he was our father. Simon took advantage and revealed his feelings to you and the two of you started dating. Then the night we captured Valentine, he confessed to me that he lied. He was holding the soul sword at the time so it was the truth."
